14.12.02 “NAMBA HATCH Day 1”

It’s the first day of NAMBA HATCH.
Finally, it’s the beginning of the 10 days in Osaka.
Moreover, it’s the first time VAMPS will perform at the new venue NAMBA
HATCH.
HYDE took to the stage immediately.
He checked the stage, checked the appearance of the stage from the floor.
And back in the dressing room, they’re having a meal!

Yes, eating rice with everyone, it’s delicious!
When he got full, HYDE checked out the [glasses] for the mountain live.
Today, he’s looking over the goods for his solo live “BLACK MASS 2014” in
Furano.
In fact, after they just finished the rehearsal in Osaka just the day before, [HYDE] is steadily preparing for Furano.
It’s fun ~.

Well, just before the live, the members began to stretch.
Put out your right foot, then drop your waist.
Yes, bend and drop,
And, K.A.Z of course is guiding him.

With loose pants, the live starts!
“Is it not nice here. Everyone, I’m close.”
HYDE said during the MC.
Namba HATCH was the best small venuce on this tour, and
It was a live engulfed in hot air with Osaka power.

11.24.2014 “ZEPP SAPPORO Day 3”

It’s the third day of ZEPP SAPPORO
And, that you say?
Yes, it is.
It’s the last day of the Sapporo performances!
It’s a little sad.
Three performances [over] in a blink [of an eye].
Now, we’ll revve up for the last show!
With that said, today’s hot meal is
“Abura soba” from Sapporo’s “Befutei.”*
“Unnnnn….that looks really tasty…” (HYDE’s voice with feeling)

*NOTE: “米風亭” is pronounced “Befutei” and it’s an eatery in Sapporo. “Abura soba” is basically cooked ramen noodles flavored with a little oil and a seasoned sauce called “tare.” It comes with most toppings you’d find in ramen: hardboiled egg, bamboo shoots, etc., but there is no broth. It’s essentially ramen, minus the broth.

With that said, he ate it!

HYDE ate abura soba while watching the monitor to see what’s being done
onstage. Munching.
Since it’s the last day, the dressing room walls have been filled with messages,
drawings, and photo booth pictures.

With that said, it’s the final Sapporo show,
[so] they’re fired up today.
Yes, VAMPS!

Handsome!

It was a good day for the last live of ZEPP SAPPORO, which was met by
thunderous shouts of joy.
The flashy lighting and illumination also further increased the tension.
During the encore of “THE JOLLY ROGER”, HYDE screamed “Don’t leave regrets!”
“I’ll be back, Sapporo!” Wash your necks!”
Before the curtain closed, the words of HYDE marked the end of the 3 days of Sapporo.

“Sapporo BLOODSUCKERS, thank you!”
And they shouted, (not so loudly here)
“HYDE-! K.A.Z-! Thank you!”
Came the voices from the hearts of BLOODSUCKERS
(though not so loudly here), could be heard.
The VAMPS party left ZEPP SAPPORO.

Second day of ZEPP SAPPORO
Yesterday, VAMPARK took place and so, HYDE and K.A.Z visited [it].
HYDE snuck to the second floor to enjoy the special movie.
HYDE enjoying the photo booth in VAMPARK!
With that said, [VAMPARK] is now over!
Oh?
K.A.Z his finger in HYDE’s nose.
HYDE cupped K.A.Z’s cheeks in his hand.
Ju-ken even came to play at VAMPARK, and the three took shots in the photo
booth!
Everyone enjoyed VAMPARK.
And of course, it’s the second day of Sapporo.
When HYDE entered the dressing room, there was a smell of something delicious.
…..And when he walked down the hall to the source of the delicious smell.
He found curry soup!
Here in Sapporo is where curry soup originated!
After all it must be curry soup!
With that said, [he] will eat some!
HYDE began eating the “delicious, delicious” curry soup.
And then again in the evening!
Sapporo is a delicious trap.
You’ll really have trouble.
Well.
K.A.Z relaxed on the sofa in the dressing room.
Goodnight, everyone.
It’s now the third location on the tour and VAMPS have continued on without a
day off.
And so K.A.Z will have a nap.
If there’s any good lullaby song, it’s
“Good – night” (← It’s from “SWEET DREAMS”)
Oh, he doesn’t need a lullaby. Sorry to disturb you.
During the MC at the live,
“I was gooood today. I think it’s rewarding to feel that way.”
HYDE said and ZEPP SAPPORO wrapped with great enthusiasm and cheer.
One more performance in Sapporo left,
So as to not have any regrets,
I’ll devour everything! (Oh, that direction)
